First I got really busy at work and didn't have time to work out story ideas in my head and second, I became increasingly frustrated with my Exiles story lines. It took me a while but I finally figured out my frustration resulted from Charles and T'Pol not being the Trip and T'Pol that we all came to know and love. Creating the Exiles universe was interesting but Charles and T'Pol from the MU are seriously flawed characters that did not hold my interest.
While I was coming to grips with that, House of Tucker decided to upgrade their software and I was not happy at all with how that was handled, as my last couple posts probably make obvious. I guess it sounds kind of pissy, but they decided to make the default view the most complicated one offered by the software and no one provided any clue to unfamiliar users, like me, that a simple profile configuration could restore the view to something reasonable. That was really my final straw with HoT and I decided to peek in at TriaxianSilk. I still read TnT stories and browse the forum there, but I don't post much.
Anyway, I'm not sure where I'll go from here. I've had a lot of fun writing TnT stories but I need to write stories about the Trip and T'Pol characters that closely resemble my view of those in the series. I may revisit my New World Man series and rewrite/rework it and put more detail into the time between "Terra Prime" and the end of the Romulan War. I may spend more time in the E2 universe and flesh out the first couple years of their exile into the past. I may also just walk away and continue spending my time on other interests.
I'm still not sure where I'll go from here. If I write anything more, I intend to post here as I've decided to walk away from House of Tucker. So far, looking into the first couple of years TnT were trapped in the E2 universe has held the most appeal, but not enough for me to sit down and write anything.
